    Hard to start when cold?

    I have a 125m and I have a hard time to start it when it's cold. The plug is always fouled after every try. any tricks? I have adjusted the air/fuel mixture screw last week and the engine was running well.

    Help!

    Do you guys use the choke? It was minus 3 celcius ( 26F) today...

    Yes you should use the choke before you go messing with anything. Some bikes don't need it though, my 70 starts up fine without it (lever is broken and the tank doesn't clear enough to get a grip on it). Maybe try bumping the idle up a little.

    if the plug is fouled each time try not choking it. if it still does it id say the float is sticking, causing it to flood while it sets.
